Don’t you think it’s a bit odd that the only hits that come up on this “famous neurosurgeon” is for this story? No office or hospital in Chicago (or any other city) employs this man’s talents. Must’ve been Eliyahu Hanavi – who else could become a skilled neurosurgeon on a whim? I wonder who his brother, the pharmacist was…..
And what type of chinuch did the parents give their daughter? To get a miracle, you go to….. the pharmacy? Must have been before the Bais Yaacov movement. Either that, or as the Mikkelsons suggest, perhaps the family religion was Pharmaceuticalian.
